   "McAfee's beta program is free and U.S. residents may be eligible to obtain rewards including gift cards or certificates and other prizes."
   
   Is anyone willing to install McAfee beta software for the possibility of a free gift card?

5. Comment - Court Rules Sharing Music is Illegal, Even if Nobody Downloads It

   I wasn't involved in any way with this case (as I do not work for Cox Communications anymore), so I can only speculate, but...
   
   IF there was a subpoena issued on the records for this customer (meaning, "please identify the user of IP address x at date/time y"), _chances_ are that numerous complaint letters had already been sent from the copyright holder to Cox. In that case, the customer should have gotten those letters attached to the abuse form letter via email. If multiple warnings were ignored, the copyright holder might have decided to go after them legally.
   
   I've talked to tons of customers about file sharing when complaint letters came in. Most of them were clueless (or pretended to be) about the whole thing. If I shut their modem off, some of them would say they didn't get the warning email, or that they got it but didn't read it. *shrug* Again, I don't know what happened here, I just know how other customers were when I dealt with them.
